Scale the Sound

Scales are the backbone of music, providing the notes that create melodies and harmonies. Explore different scales and hear how they shape the character of music.

Understanding Musical Scales

A scale is a collection of musical notes ordered by pitch. Different scales create different moods and feelings in music. From the bright major scale to the mysterious minor scales, each has its own unique character.

  • Major scales for happy, bright sounds
  • Minor scales for sad, emotional tones
  • Modal scales for unique colors
  • Pentatonic scales found worldwide

C Major Scale

The most fundamental scale - all white keys on piano. Bright and happy sound.

A Minor Scale

The relative minor of C major. Creates a more melancholic, emotional feeling.

Pentatonic Scale

Five-note scale used in many cultures. Great for improvisation and world music.

Inside the Intervals

Intervals are the building blocks of harmony. Understanding the distance between notes helps you create beautiful melodies and rich chord progressions.

The Language of Distance

Intervals measure the distance between two notes. They're the foundation of melody and harmony, determining whether music sounds consonant (pleasing) or dissonant (tense).

  • Perfect intervals (unison, 4th, 5th, octave)
  • Major intervals (2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th)
  • Minor intervals (smaller versions)
  • Augmented and diminished variations

Feel the Rhythm

Rhythm is the heartbeat of music. Learn how beats, time signatures, and patterns create the foundation that drives all musical expression.

The Beat

The steady pulse that underlies all music. Like a heartbeat, it provides the foundation that keeps music organized and moving forward. Everything else in music relates to this fundamental pulse.

Time Signatures

The organizational system that groups beats into measures. Common time signatures like 4/4 (four beats per measure) and 3/4 (waltz time) create different feels and grooves in music.

Note Values

Different note lengths that subdivide the beat. Whole notes, half notes, quarter notes, and eighth notes create the rhythmic vocabulary that composers use to create interesting patterns.

Rhythmic Patterns

Combinations of different note values that create groove and interest. From simple patterns to complex syncopation, rhythmic patterns give music its unique character and style.
